Song: Gotta Match
Verse 1
stepped out
of the comfort zone
moving in a direction
somewhere to decipher
found quietness,
on the bench,
laughing at gravity.
Pre-Chorus
the wind blows a melody,
in the after-dark sky.
answered by musicians
Brushstroke notes in the sky
I see a familiar man
sketching a diner,
with an umbrella
stretching across
wider and wider.
[Spoken]
Maybe Hopper?
Chorus
Is it me,
do you think,
I am lonely,
Having a sit.
Is it me,
do you think,
I am lonely,
having a look.
Is it me,
do you think,
I am lonely,
having a listen,
while one with nature.
[Spoken]
You got a match?
Verse 2
time for consumption,
finding my gumption,
nostalgic diner,
close to my way.
I think I see Hopper,
with his easel,
leaning back on the wall,
with one foot behind.
Waiting for inspiration,
as if he'll find it here.
The greeter
always says,
Just one?
I think,
what is "just" anyway?
Just another label.
She thinks,
he’s gotta be lonely.
I bring
no pages, no battery glass, no plastic
cheers.
no hurry,
no reason,
just a pocket of season.
The greeter gave me her number.
Text me later. OK.
I smiled back.
Bridge
peaceful, quiet, surreal
no smartphone,
no headphones,
just leaving me alone.
no chatter, no disconnect, no confusion,
only awareness, only observing.
Do you think I am lonely?
Well, I should have brought my cell.
I’d text the greeter.
Thanks for the match.
——
Chorus
Is it me,
do you think,
I am lonely,
having a breakdown.
Is it me,
do you think,
I am lonely,
striking this match.
Is it me,
do you think,
I am lonely,
While having a smoke.
——
Final Chorus
Is it me,
do you think,
I am lonely,
having a toke.
Is it me,
do you think,
I am lonely,
having a sip.
Is it me,
Do you think,
I am lone leaf,
while I'm alone.

Outro
I woke up.
The greeter was making breakfast.
She does this every day,
My better half.
